Season 17 of Kaun Banega Crorepati is expected to go on air from August 2025. Amitabh Bachchan will start shooting for the promos in a couple of days. Earlier this year, he wrapped Season 16 with heartening words. He signed off by saying, 'If our efforts have even slightly touched someone's life or ignited hope… then I will consider our 25-year-long journey truly successful.'

‘Paris is scam': Indian traveller slams ‘impossible-to-chew bread' and ‘disaster dessert' at her ‘most expensive' Eiffel Tower lunch
Ishwarya, an Indian traveller and one half of the United Kingdom-based Tamil travel vlogging duo 'Make Travel Easy,' left Paris with more than just photos of the Eiffel Tower –– she also carried home a story about a pricey lunch gone wrong. In a candid Instagram post, Ishwarya called it her the 'most expensive' meal in the City of Light, yet one that failed to impress. The bread, she said, was so hard it was nearly impossible to chew, and the starter arrived cold. Her experience wasn't unique, an elderly woman from New Zealand, seated beside her at the Eiffel Tower's second-floor restaurant, voiced the same complaints. A post shared by Make Travel Easy (@_maketraveleasy) When Ishwarya asked the server if they had softer bread, the answer was a flat no. She rated the starter just 2/10, gave the main dish a more forgiving 7/10, and declared the dessert, which she found overly creamy, a disaster at 1/10. 'I will never go here again,' she wrote. A post shared by Make Travel Easy (@_maketraveleasy) In her YouTube video, Ishwarya revealed that her day took an unexpected turn when she ended up helping the New Zealand woman, who struggled to eat, reach a supermarket for biscuits and then walk her back to her hotel. The review sparked debate online. Some commenters felt she simply didn't understand European dining culture. 'European breads are supposed to be hard… there are so many different types of breads,' one person pointed out. Another wrote, 'It must be your first time to eat in Europe. That's a normal bread for Europeans.' Others sided with her frustration. 'Paris is a scam,' wrote one. Another was even harsher: 'French food is actually pretty bad. We've been starving out in New Caledonia. No vege, limited fruit. Rubbish food.'

Coolie movie review: Lokesh Kanagaraj's Vikram-lite is scattered and messy; Rajinikanth still packs a punch
Coolie movie review Cast: Rajinikanth, Nagarjuna, Upendra, Soubin Shahir, Shruti Haasan, Rachita Ram, Sathyaraj, and Aamir Khan Director: Lokesh Kanagaraj Rating: ★★.5 The coming together of Rajinikanth, arguably the biggest mass star in Indian cinema since Amitabh Bachchan, and Lokesh Kanagaraj, one of the few directors in Tamil cinema to have mastered this new-mass grammar, was widely anticipated. Having given Vijay and Kamal Haasan their biggest hits, Lokesh was considered the perfect candidate to bring back 'vintage' Rajinikanth to the screen. That the superstar still had it was evident with Jailer's success. Perhaps it was that heavy burden of expectations, or simply Lokesh's lofty ambitions, but Coolie does not simply fall short, but stumbles and staggers its way along that route. It is a confusing film, as much as it is confused, lifted largely by Rajinikanth's undimmed aura, Aniruddh's masterful score, and some brilliantly shot fight sequences. Coolie review: Lokesh Kanagaraj's film answers a question - can Rajinikanth's swag save an average film? Deva (Rajinikanth) runs a hostel in a mansion in Chennai. But, he has a dark past, one that threatens to return after his old friend Rajashekhar (Sathyaraj) is killed. Deva must now protect his friend's daughters (although we focus largely on Shruti Haasan, ignoring the other two), and infiltrate the gang of Simon (Nagarjuna), who may hold the key to his friend's death. But hounding him is Simon's lackey, the unpredictable Dayal (Soubin Shahir), leading Deva to wonder if he has bitten off more than he can chew. Let us first address the elephant in the room. An ageing man with a dark past is spurred into action due to the death of a loved one, and now he must dismantle a criminal enterprise led by a mercurial villain. And oh, there is a bigger baddie somewhere played by a superstar. This is the plot of both Vikram and Coolie. The difference is merely in the presentation. But while in Vikram, Lokesh was very much in command of the narrative, in Coolie, one can feel he has let the reins go a little too much. The film meanders in all directions, ending up as almost a diluted version of his 2021 hit. And sadly, it lacks many of the things that made Vikram so enjoyable - cohesion, crispness, and direction. Rajinkanth is the heart and soul of the film. At 74, the ageing superstar still lords over the screen, drawing loud cheers and whistles even at the twitch of an eyebrow. Very few actors can manage this connect with the audience across cultures. Even in a film as uneven as Coolie, Rajinikanth's presence and persona are among the saving graces. From meta references to signature cigarette twirls, Rajinikanth excels in everything he does on screen. His presence alone is enough to make the film exponentially watchable. Nagarjuna's villain is menacing and ruthless, but not very impactful. The flashback sequences featuring a de-aged Rajini are also done well, blending nostalgia with mass for an audience who has not seen Rajinikanth prime on the big screen in this manner. But, to me, the real star of the film is Anirudh. The young composer has been proving himself time and again, be it Vikram, Jailer, Jawan, or Leo. In Coolie, he may not have set the internet on fire with a definitive track (think Rolex Theme, Jawan whistle, or Hukum). But with his score, he elevates the film in its dull moments. At any moment when Coolie threatens to cling to the tropes and go to templates, Aniruddh saves the day. Anbariv's action, presented beautifully by Lokesh, adds to that audio-visual charm. The combine yet again gives you action that is slick and does invite a gasp or two. But after a while, you do feel, if Lokesh is settling into a pattern, which is less of a signature and more of a type. Nagarjuna, playing a rare negative role in a commercial film, does well. But again, he cannot match up to some of the memorable villains that this genre of cinema has given in the last half a decade alone. A mass actioner's hero shines only because he is fighting a memorable villain. Despite the superstar's best attempts (and a decent performance), the script does not allow him to be memorable. He is convincing, just not impactful. That job is done by Soubin Shahir. He has the more fleshed-out role, better-written scenes, and a character that most actors would kill for. To Soubin's credit, he makes it his own. If his dance was the talk of the town before the release, his scenes and dialogue will flood the internet now. Soubin Shahir gives the most memorable performance of Coolie. Shruti Haasan has done well with the role she has, even matching Rajini in certain confrontational scenes. Rachita Ram also leaves an impact. But the two superstarry cameos are very uneven. Upendra gets more to do on screen than just be. Everything from his entry to fight scenes has fan service written all over it. But Lokesh proves again that if done right, that is not a bad thing to do. He and Rajinikanth fighting in tandem, like a tag team of wrestlers in a battle royal, is a visual treat and something that fans of both actors will cherish. On the other hand, Aamir Khan's Dahaa is confusing to say the least. If Lokesh wanted a Rolex 2.0 with this, he failed here. Aamir does brilliantly as the unpredictable gangster, but the presence of the character adds very little to the narrative. With Rolex, there was a promise of a payoff. But with Dahaa, it is just an attempt at 'pan-Indiaing' this film, which feels very inorganic. Coolie is not a bad film. Far from it! But it certainly is a squandered opportunity. The combination of Rajinikanth and Lokesh should have given the viewers much more than what it is.
